Here are some kit-bashed space ships I've made to use in games of Rail Gun. They are made from stuff from my bits box, mostly 40k weapons but also pieces from other models. I have another 8 waiting for paint and plan to build more. They attach by magnet to my simple nail-and-base flight stands. Thanks for looking!

I really like some of those! Yeah weapons bits often make great ships. |

Very well done. I didn't even pick up on the fact that they are made from 40K weapon bits. Normally I can tell, but you've hid that fact well. |

Ditto! Mind you, some I think take damn little work to function as ships, but yours are great! I've some old ork bolters with grips off *I* think make great tramp freighters. Doug |

Thanks all :) @TheBeast: Tau weapons especially work well, with their clean shapes and panel lines. Take off the grip, invert them, add a couple blocks or antenna, BAM, cruiser. I have some drywall anchors that might become freighters. |

Very nice fleet. They look appropriately utilitarian and chunky. Bravo.I like the way they all look different. |

Very nice! I do enjoy seeing scratchbuilds like these. Always inspiring, and a reminder that one doesn't need to invest buckets of hard-earned to create nice gaming pieces. Keep it up! |

Very nice. I'm inspired to go to the bits box… |

Great stuff. Makes me think it has been a while since I scratch built a ship. Hmmm. Thanks for sharing. |

Indeed, very very nice. I like them infinitely more than the majority of the commercial offerings, which often look too wingy or insufficiently compact to my eye. Those are good. |

It warms my evil singularity of a black heart to see some old school kitbashed starships gliding forth to conquer the galaxy… Leland R. Erickson Metal Express metal-express.net |
